Weekly Prompts Weekend Challenge – Stock, hosted by Sue W and GC
A new beginning is the best time to take stock. What we did, and what we want to do going forward.
When I think back on how the last year was, I feel grateful. Nothing momentous happened but it were numerous small victories that made the year memorable. We all, the family got vaccinated, stayed healthy and did well work wise. The little ones grew up another year and it was so much joy to see them learning to talk, to form opinions, and getting naughtier by the day. I think our biggest gain was health and happiness last year.
Going forward, What do we want from next year? People advise us to be ambitious when setting our goals but I believe that we should be practical. Set small, achievable targets. Little things that make a difference in our lives.
And last but not the least, wipe the slate clean of regrets and broken hopes. It’s time to move on and look forward.

“I have started to think that the great, decisive moments that broadly govern our lives are far less conscious at the time than they seem later when we are reminiscing and taking stock.” ~ Sándor Márai
This week, Sue W and GC gave us the word STOCK as our weekend challenge.

Taking stock of our situation is important. We are often hard on ourselves when we make mistakes, but forgive others for the same thing. Wiping the slate clean is important.

Exactly so my friend. We should be more forgiving towards ourselves too.

I agree that smaller attainable goals work better, if the goal is too big it can be frustrating and disappointing when trying to do too much. Good post Sadje!
